Basically yes. In two ways, it taught me what to avoid in business, like having layers of management filtering facts that are needed to make informed decisions. Along those same lines it taught me that many times that stupid ass decision you can't understand why the Director or VP or C level made, came because s/he was given half truths or partial information and did the best with what they were told.
Second way is that I learned how to sell software and services to those larger organizations. It takes a totally different sales process and knowing that process is invaluable to getting larger sales. You learn through that process that enterprises are no where near as price sensitive as others are, so your pricing should reflect it as they will demand a lot from you.
